Before selecting a loan program, research which financing option best meets your needs. Weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each available choice since each one will vary in repayment timelines, APRs and more. Before financing be sure to:

Research every financing option and program available.

Look for a loan plan that offers the most flexibility in repayments and charges a reasonable rate.

Borrow as little as possible.
